Because OSX is under the hood is very similar to *Nix and BSD systems. Those who are putting their data files under /opt are probably doing so to follow the Linux Hierarchy Standard. As a long time *Nix geek (first introduced to Unix on Gould computers running Gould UTX and AT&T 3B2 systems running AT&T Sys V sometime around 1986/1987). Simple answer, because they can and they want to. :) See http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html for reference. I mentioned trying "csrutil disable" because I have not yet updated to Catalina. Seems it breaks a few things at the office, mainly Cisco Anyconnect. Worth a shot I thought. But as someone else mentioned, Apple has added layer of filesystem complexity that could be affecting access to /opt.
